Ingredients
Scale
Dough and Sausages
- 1 8-ounce package crescent rolls
- 14 ounces cocktail sausages
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wreath.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and salt. Microwave in 15-second increments until the butter is fully melted, then stir to combine evenly.
- Unroll Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the crescent rolls onto a clean surface, keeping the triangles intact.
- Brush Dough with Butter: Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the crescent dough with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
- Cut Dough: Using a pizza cutter, slice each crescent roll triangle into three long strips to create thinner pieces for wrapping.
- Wrap Sausages: Take one cocktail sausage and wrap it with a strip of dough. Place the wrapped sausage on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a small bowl as a guide and arrange the pieces side-by-side forming a circular wreath shape.
- Create Second Circle: Once the outer wreath is complete, form a second inner circle inside the first, ensuring the wrapped sausages touch to maintain the wreath structure.
- Butter and Season: Brush the entire wreath generously with the remaining garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle the Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly over the dough-wrapped sausages.
- Bake: Bake the wreath in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Garnish and Serve: For added festive presentation, tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the wreath. Place a bowl of ketchup or your preferred dipping sauce in the center and serve warm.
